Chapter 101 The smell of rot

The first floor of the library is divided into three parts, the middle hall and the left and right sides.

The lobby on the first floor is the counter for borrowing books, and a few chairs for rest in the middle.

On the left and right sides, there are various books, tables and chairs on display.

There are also many people immersed in their own world of books, enjoying it quietly.

Tang Xiaoqi's eyes lightened up slightly, and on the ceiling on the top floor, some surveillance cameras were set up at intervals.

A middle-aged uncle suddenly passed by, carrying a few heavy books, and hurried out.

Tang Xiaoqi paused, and turned to look at the uncle's back. The smell just now is very familiar. Is it from him?
Chen Meili had already been waiting quietly on the lounge chair in the lobby.

After seeing Tang Xiaoqi at a glance, he stood up from his chair and walked over quietly to greet him.

Seeing Tang Xiaoqi staring intently at the back of the man walking out, Chen Meili couldn't help asking in doubt.

"Miss Tang, he is the curator of this library, do you know him?"

"I don't know him, I'm just curious."

Tang Xiaoqi withdrew his gaze, turned his head, and his eyes fell on the woman in front of him, with a satisfied expression in his eyes.

The woman's shoulder-length black hair has been trimmed into neat short hair.

It is not like the feeling of a strong woman in the past, but refreshing and temperamental, giving people a sense of lightness and agility.

His eyes were shining with a clear light, probably because he used contact lenses, and the black frame was also taken off.

Showing a small oval face is enough to arouse the protective desire of ordinary men.

The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes have also faded a bit, and the slight luster on the skin shows a good spirit.

The appearance and temperament have changed, and the whole person has gained a lot of points.

Chen Meili asked softly after approaching.

"So shall we go out and find a coffee shop now, or in the soundproof area of ​​the library?"

"Soundproof zone?"

"Yes," Chen Meili explained, "This shared library has a separate sound-proof area, and people can use it when it is inconvenient."

"Just go to the soundproof area."

The two then entered the elevator and pressed the number "9th floor" on the top floor.

"Ding ~"

After reaching the ninth floor, the elevator door was slowly pushed open.

Tables and chairs are placed in the wide space in the middle, with books on both sides, separated by several white walls.

In the middle of the bookshelves on the left and right is a regular passage, and at the end there is a sound-proof wooden door, on which are displayed signs of "sound-proof area".

What surprised Tang Xiaoqi was that in such a huge library, the seats were almost empty, and there were very few people reading on the ninth floor.

Moreover, in the same space, there are twice as many monitors than on the first floor.

It's weird!
Tang Xiaoqi squinted his eyes and stared at the surroundings of the library, his eyes became inexplicably deep, and he couldn't help lifting his lips in doubt.

"Why... are there so few people here?"

Chen Meili lowered her voice and answered softly as she walked out of the elevator.

"Shh~ Miss Tang, let's go to the soundproof area first, and I'll explain to you later."

The two walked towards the aisle between the bookshelves on the right, one behind the other.

On both sides are bookshelves that are taller than people, like towering giants, which can tightly surround people and enclose them in a suffocating way.

Tang Xiaoqi frowned suddenly, stopped in his tracks, and couldn't help turning his head. There seemed to be a faint smell of decay in the passage.

But there was still nothing behind him.

The bookshelves on the left and right sides are shiny and clean, and the surroundings are also neat and tidy. The entire passage is clear at a glance, and there is nothing unusual.
